LocationRequirements

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer “walk.”

Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See “Drain System.”

IMPORTANT: Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

Proper installation is your responsibility.

You will need:

■A water heater set to deliver 49˚C (120˚F) water to the washer.

■An earthed electrical outlet located within 1.2 m (4 ft) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■Hot and cold water faucets located within 90 cm (3 ft) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 34.5- 690 kPa (5-100 psi). Washers with triple dispensers require 138-690 kPa (20-100 psi) for best performance.

■A level floor with a maximum slope of 2.5 cm (1") under entire washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not recommended. Ventilation openings in the base must not be obstructed by carpet.

■A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water and load) of 143 kg (315 lbs).

Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures at or below 0˚C (32˚F). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See “Washer Care” in the Washer User Instructions for winterizing information.
